He wasn't a tragic hero, he was just BAD. Why Tony Montana destroys modern movie protagonists.

Have you ever considered that the best villains aren't the ones who fall from grace, but the ones who start in the gutter and sink further? Does that iconic final shootout still give you chills, or is it the chilling realization that Tony Montana never had a moral high ground to lose? Why do we cling to redemption arcs when the sheer, unrepentant evil of a character like him—who actively screws over his closest friends and family—makes for such compelling cinema? When you look at his influence on shows like Breaking Bad, are we really watching a nice guy go bad, or are we watching an already terrible man become amplified by power? Is this raw, unapologetic portrayal of corruption why this character remains the gold standard for cinematic antagonists?
